. A new Twitter phishing scam has been on the rise recently, and this time it takes the form of a direct message from hijacked accounts sending out concerned messages to its followers. The messages are something along the lines of: “I saw a real bad blog about you, you seen this?” with a shortened URL for you to click on. Clicking on it won't do anything nasty right away, but it will lead you to a website that looks like the Twitter login page.
Besides the URL of the website, which a lot of people won't notice (it's twittelr.com instead of twitter.com) it looks like an authentic Twitter page.
